Apple tree problems

The apple tree in my garden is around 50 years old.
I am unable to identify the veriety as it doesn't seem to match the well
known ones, except to say that it is an apple for eating not cooking.
I read elsewhere that pear trees can live 2-300 years, but apple trees?
50 years is old.
Has this apple tree reached the end of its life or could there be something
else wrong?
Almost certainly both. I would bet on root damage, probably due to
fungal infestation. If so, there is no hope in a tree that age.
